Focus Home Interactive offers
a new trailer from
The Surge, showing off 14 minutes of uncut gameplay footage from the
upcoming action/RPG. This includes commentary from one of the developers at
Deck13 to explain what we're seeing as they gear up for a planned May release.
Here's the deal on the clip:

Fitted with an industrial exoskeleton, you must fight your way through CREO,
equipping the spoils of combat to your suit. Armor and weapons are looted from
enemies after duels, in which you will take advantage of The Surge's unique
limb-targeting system to attack and cut off parts of the enemy you want to equip
or craft.

Targeting a part of the enemy which is armored will deal less damage, but you
will earn the opportunity to deal a finishing blow that will cut off the limb
in-tact, allowing you to loot the spoils, gain blueprints, and tech-scrap used
to level up your exoskeleton.

The Surge features vertical and horizontal attacks, which are used in
combination with parries, ducks and jumps as well as a boosted dodge - courtesy
of your exoskeleton - culminating in swift, snappy, precise combat situations
unlike anything experienced before.

At CREO, you will meet survivors who need help or who can offer assistance.
Accepting missions can yield extra rewards, but you will have to balance that
against your desire to go deeper into the complex, as the stakes grow ever
higher - once dropped, your tech scrap will diminish over time.

Face the dangers of CREO and set your own challenges. Accept missions, learn
more about CREO's history and lore, and fight the various mini-bosses scattered
throughout the environment, or play it safe and struggle to survive - it's up to
you.
